contents A recent experiment showed that a Cherenkov radiation spectrum from thin radiators possessing frequency dispersion could transform into quasi-monochromatic spectral lines. Simulations based on the standard Geant4 toolkit could not correctly describe the experimental results because Geant4 uses the traditional Frank-Tamm theory developed for an ideal (infinitely thick) radiator. Because of that, our endeavors in this paper are to present a new way of utilizing Cherenkov radiation using new Gneat4 models, while the paper should be used as a helping text to understand the Cherenkov process in Geant4 and what one can expect out of new models. Now, one can analyze quasi-monochromatic Cherenkov spectral lines using Geant4, which is a significant milestone for investigating the possibilities of this technique.
